Our Program Philosophy

Our program is designed to promote the development of the whole child, in a child-centered environment. This involves presenting children with quality materials appropriate for their level of development in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing, encourages creativity and allows them to build on concepts. Further, in their roles as observer, stage manager and mediator, our teachers work to promote resilience and mastery in play. Within the context of a specific relationship, our teachers are extremely thoughtful about how, what and when they speak and act, so that their support of the child is useful.

The heart and soul of Bright Days is the commitment of our teachers to the establishment of quality, caring relationships with the children in their care. That is how they are able to foster resilient minds and promote healthy development of the child.

Class Schedules and Information

Our program runs from September to May. Children should be approximately 2 years, 9 months of age by September of the school year to enroll in our multi-age classes, or 2 years old to enroll in our 2’s class.
